QUEEN'S PANIC: 'PLEASE BRING THE KIDS HOME'

A SERIES OF SECURITY SCARES HAVE RATTLED THE MONARCH

After it was revealed last month that the Queen asked the Sussex family to Balmoral for a summer holiday - despite the obvious friction between Prince Harry and the royals - insiders were quick to scoff.

"There was no such invite," snipped American newspaper the New York Post.

However, another insider has come forward to tell New Idea exclusively that the Queen's apparent olive branch does exist and has less to do with smoothing tension and everything to do with keeping her great-grandchildren safe.
